Abstract: UHF Range 1 APX6000 needs retuneSystem Platforms Affected: AnySpecial Configurations: APX6000 or APX6000XE with UHF Range 1 capabilityDescription: Fielded APX6000/6000XE UHF R1 portable units, if shipped with afirmware version earlier than R06.00.00, when upgraded to firmware versionR06.00.00 or later need to be completely re-tuned. The tuning is needed to assurethe proper operation and spec compliance of the radios. APX6000/6000XE UHF R1radios shipped from the factory with R06.00.00 or higher will not need any retuningwhen future upgrades are applied.

Abstract: FLASH memory reorganizationSystem Platforms Affected: AnySpecial Configurations: N/ADescription: R07.00.00 implemented a reorganization of the FLASH memory in order toprovide memory space for storing downloadable language packs, improve POP25 speed,and provide additional memory space for future feature development. Thisreorganization will affect FLASH upgrade speed and codeplug programming speed. Ingeneral, the download of codeplug/firmware information will be faster, allowing theuser to disconnect the radio from the CPS sooner than in the past, and the radiowill decompress and install the codeplug/firmware independently, without needing tobe connected to the CPS. The radio will need to be allowed time to decompress andinstall the codeplug/firmware, during which all normal radio operation will besuspended, and the radio will display "Updating...". If power is removed duringthis process, it will restart upon the next power-up.

Abstract: APX7000 repeatedly transmits Group Voice Request ISPSystem Platforms Affected: P25 TrunkingSpecial Configurations: N/AUser Symptom: APX radios may occasionally get stuck in a mode where they arerepeatedly transmitting Group Voice Request ISPs if the “Frame Sync Seek Period”codeplug field is set to zero instead of the default value of 750 mSDescription: This firmware issue has been resolved.

Abstract: APX radio periodically goes OOR on Harris infrastructureSystem Platforms Affected: Harris P25 NetworkSpecial Configurations: N/AUser Symptom: APX radios monitoring the Control Channel on a Harris network may goOut of Range approximately once every 10 seconds for about a half second, thenrecover and continue operating.Description: This firmware issue has been resolved.

Abstract: APX radios sending the wrong date information in location updatesSystem Platforms Affected: AnySpecial Configurations: GPS in useUser Symptom: At power-up, radios are sending an incorrect year and month (always adate in the future) in the location data packets. The day and time are correct.This incorrect date is also seen if the location update is viewed on the display.Description: This firmware issue has been resolved.

Abstract: APX radios may unmute late or not at all in Simulcast overlap areas.System Platforms Affected: P25 Linear SimulcastSpecial Configurations: N/AUser Symptom: APX radios may unmute late or not at all in Simulcast overlap areasif the “Motorola Proprietary Features” checkbox in the CPS is not checked.Description: This firmware issue has been fixed. There will no longer be anydependency of modulator type on the “Motorola Proprietary Features” checkbox
